The RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch this weekend so I took an hour this morning to watch the garden, it was a fairly breezy and dreich day with some rain during the hour that I chose. Nothing unexpected seen. The usual sunflower seed, fat balls and mealworms were provided.

Highest counts of each species were: 9 Collared Doves, 20 Goldfinches, 6 Blackbirds, 4 Greenfinches, 15 House Sparrows, 1 Dunnock and 1 Starling.
